SUBJECT: ZON2009-00011 Davis Mixed Use Employment Development DIM
Public Works Engineering Comments
The subject application involves tax lots 1502 and 2500, located at 1081 Linda Lane. The
applicant submitted plans to discuss annexing 46 acres into the City of Spriqgfield to build a
mixed use employment development. The development would have a mix Of Business /
Professional Offices, Educational / S.chool Facilities, Manufacturing/Assembly / Warehousing,
some eatil1g / restaurant establishllents, and multi-family dwelling / apartment buildings.
Applicant's Questions:
1. Does City Planning staff ha:ve a preference as to which option is pursued? If option
#2 does not exist, the owner / design team is fine with the MUE zoning. Clarification
of these two options would be helpful. '
Planning Department will respond to this question.
2. Please explain and show us on the urban service location and routing mapping how
and where the various urban services will be routed to the site, covering the .
following: Wastewater / sanitary sewers, street connectivity with sib Street South,'
storm water, water mains, electrical distribution, and natural gas. What urban
services and utilities are located in the Parkway? At the southwest corner ofthe
development site, it is some 900 feet to 1000 feet east to the Parkway. Is the City
acquiring any collection or lateral utility easements to facilitate the developer's
ability to extend service to the properties not immediately adjacent to the Parkway
or the wastewater trunk line?
Transportation Department will respond to the question regarding street connectivity:
A sanitary sewer trunk line is planned to be installed in Jasper Roa4 in the future to serve
this area. Jasper Meadows pump station is planned to be decommissioned once this
property is developed, where all Jasper Meadows sanitary that is presently being
pumped, will gravity flow though this development to Jasper Road. There is no public
storm water system. Water presently flows onto adjacent County la~ds. Storm water
quantity will need to be limited to maintain existing natural state. The site design may
need to include an onsite detention / retention system in order to mitigate the discharge
limitation. The futureCapital'Project plan may 'include channel improvements. Storm
water should be managed on site. Springfield lftility Board (SUB) and EPUD should be
contacted regarding utility availability and how water / power will be extended to site.

3. The owner cannot afford to build / ("mance'the extension of all th~lI4i~ "
services to their 40 acre development site. How can the Ci~~); lI\Q.; City
funding resources available? A willingness to set up meetingV\%'liilk with all
abutting surrounding property owners along the planned route of key urban
facilities about forming a local improvement district (LID)? Willingness to set up
an LID and/or reimbursement district? Is a ~eparate LID / reimbursement district
for each individual City service? Does the City coordinate these other urban
services?
Public Works Capital Projects section has indicated that an RFP should be going out for
the design and scoping of the sanitary sewer trunk line in Jasper Road Council has
approved the rate structure and bonds where funding for the project has been budgeted
and planned for construction in 2010, The developer of this property will need to
participate in the fair cost share of any Jasper Road and Sanitary s"wer trunk line
improvements. The'infrastructure / service needs for this property, including storm water
management, will need to be determined by the developer's engineet where City's Master
plan and adjoining properties will need to be considered in design. ;The developer's
contribution and City participation considerations would be determined at the time of the
annexation agreement preparation. Public Works will provide an eJcplanation of an LID.
4. It is our understanding the City and Springfield Utility Board have been doing the
preliminary design and cost analysis for these urban services. What is the status of
,this design process for the key urban services and facilities? Does the City yet know'
or have an estimate of how much each urban service / facility will cost? What is the
construction timetable of the wastewater trunk line? What will th'e City require of
the owner (Royal Family Investments, LLC) in terms of what will be in the'
annexation agreement?
SUB and EPUD should be contactedfor questions regarding water and power service.
(Note: SUB may not be the utility provider in this area, please verifY). ,Planning
Department will also respond to this question.
S. It i~ our understanding the Jasper-Natron MetroPlan Amendm"nt has been delayed
until around December of2010, until the City's land use inventory and needs
analysis has been completed. Will tbis delay ofthe amendment also delay the
annexation? Does this delay prevent the City completing the annexation
agreement? Could the owner execute the agreement but simply':delay annexation
until the Jasper-Natron MetroPlan amendments are adopted? Does the City have a
standard Jasper-Natron annexation agreement format? Does st~ff have an estimate
of how long it will take to have an initial, but fairly complete, anne~ation agreement,
with estimated cost figures, including what th,e City wants from the owner?
An annexation agreement will be required; however, no detailed iriformation can be
provided by City staff at a DIM meeting regarding City and/or Developer obligations
under such an agreement. Annexation agreement details and obligations will be
determined during the Annexation application and'annexation agreement process.
